Actually, that's correct, but the meanings of those words are often  
interchangeable in English.

My only argument was that we should use the same naming conventions for 
the cross-platform parts of classes. zB, we currently have:

CriticalSection.generic.cpp  FileInfo.common.cpp  SharedLib.generic.cpp

i named SharedLib.generic because we already had CriticalSection.generic 
- the platform-neutral part of the CriticalSection code.

Taking a closer look at CriticalSection, i now see why you chose to call 
that .generic instead of .common. i will do the same with SharedLib, 
since it contains the common parts of all SharedLib classes.

See ya!
